Blame yourself? Make Things worse? I just hope you got rid of the narcissist who made you write that song. It's a great one, you sound amazing, kinda like me.
My wife and I flew from Slovakia to see Mary in London and by complete serendipity we ran into her on the tube and got to chat for about 8 min. I was a total fanboi for sure.
@@MarySpender My wife and I flew to London from Florida two years ago, praying to run-into Mary, as we both wore our Tuesday Talks shirts...still dreaming.
Def got more than a few fans hahahaha…was at Baker Street tube station yesterday and spotted a guy wearing the super.sexy.heartbreak t-shirt…tempted to ask what he thought of the gig but then remembered this is London and us Londoners don’t do conversations on the tube/on platforms with strangers 😂….then again, does a common love of music mean we’re no longer strangers ….🤔
After 4 years of following you... all I can say... I am so Bloody happy for you... hope one day we have you in Prague... Rock on you Wonderful Lady! 😃😃🙏🙏♥️♥️🔊🔊🎸🎸🤟🤟😎😎😃😃
Mary, you are truly Ms. Guitar Nerd, and trust me it's a complement. I learned more about the guitar craft, history & culture from you than anyone. And here you are on the road, strumming and singing your heart out. With receptive audience and knowing the lyrics to your songs.. What more can you ask? OK, not a broken guitar. But in the light of all things could go wrong, it is repairable, as you say. And your spirit seems unbroken. Move forward, Mary!
Despite a broken guitar, you put on a brave face and took the time to meet with everyone who came specifically to see you. That's really incredible and telling of your character. That's professionalism. You're a good person, Mary. ❤
"It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll." But you are climbing and looking good doing it. No make up zombified Mary Spender is still gorgeous. Allons Y!!!!!
Broken guitars, blown amps, cracked cymbals plus drum skins par for the course and a must hap, it shows you're putting in the work! BTW, Iuv the moment you where having @ end on "I blame myself" those are the best kind of songs. Leaving blood on the stage cause it's written with love, I wasn't there but I felt here, huh huh!! Tours change your DNA and out look of the world for the better in everyway. Thanks for sharing as you grow Mary!
I can’t imagine how you could be so relatively calm on the guitar mishap. You did better than I. That being not the only one helped I’m certain. I got my Rickenbacker 360/12 string back from the Rickenbacker completely unplayable - neck split/broken from the nut to about the 7th fret. Good to hear you had it covered. Being a bolt on neck made it easier to repair ?? Rick/UPS covered all but $75 of the neck replacement on my 12. Thanks for taking us along!
Congrats on the sold out show! Seeing the broken headstock made me wince. I had a headstock break years ago, thanks to some bees. Was able to get it fixed.
Well, stuff happens! Sorry about that guitar, but sooooooooo happy for you! I know the anguish you went through putting this incredible tour together and nothing beats sold out shows! Felicidades 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Hi Mary, great Video! I enjoyed this concert so much, it was so cool to see you perform live and meet you afterwards. Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of this tour, can't wait to see how the rest went :) Greetings from Germany
Just watching that end bit Mary where you are signing albums and chatting really brought a lump to my throat. I think it suddenly dawned on me that seeing someones hard work start to pay off really proves that you have to at least try...make an effort to get what you want. It wont just fall into your lap. Your channel is fantastic and you are a role model for aspiring artists.
Stellar guitarist, singer and entertainer all at once. Beautiful performance. Thanks for sharing and I truly wish the best for you, the bois and all your future endeavours.
Denmark Street did you see cormoran Strike! these vlogs are just the real thing. makes me feel so grateful for everything you've given us and for all the things that will come.
I am not aware of any other Artist taking me (us) with them on the Road like you are doing here and its really cool and enlightening. Don't be disappointed I am not into your music because you will know yourself that you don't have to be to just support someone you find "sympatisch" (you'll know this term from Germany) where I spent 40+ years working in I.T. but supported many musicians there without being a big fan of their music but a big fan of their passion for music and entertaining and the ups and downs of pursuing such a volatile career. Rock on and I am applauding at every gig for you just doing what you do. Regards from Cambodia (im now retired).
What a memorable night, and so nice I get to be reminded of it again. Thanks, Mary, was not sure what to expect as I am only a new convert who came by chance and stayed. Appreciate these vlogs and so glad you were enjoying it too mishaps and all.
I’m literally so happy for u hun I’ve been following u for years and you deserve all the success that’s been given you but you’ve been putting in hard work blood sweet and tears for years and years thank you for being you and continuing your dream and passion it just makes me happy to see real passion big hearted people succeed so hell ya for u and your journey we call life again pumped for your success u deserve it keep being u and cheers to the future and cheers to life , rock on and hope to see u live sometime come to the US New England area sometime I really think people would love you so hell ya love ya and really enjoying these tour updates ❤️🤘 Ps always thought you were super pretty ☺️
The emotion you play with is out of this world. truly beautiful music Mary! Thank you these videos are so immersive feels like im there with you all feeling these songs together, its what music is all about ❤🩹
Sorry about your guitar 🎸 Mary. You sounded amazing! I am thrilled that the tour is otherwise going fabulously! I am also happy that you have your geae insured. Since your Fender store is so close, I hope you could get it fixed there but a tour schedule would probably not allow you to have that done before you have to leave for the next show. Touring can be rough. Love from the states and the band Rhythmfyx.
Name is Andy, I’m 58 years old from Illinois in the USA. I watch a lot of UA-cam! The first video I saw of you was a busking video. I was attracted by your stunning beauty and that you play guitar. I am also a Guitar player, working on an Ep with my music partner. I have since been drawn back to your videos because I’m trying to learn from about how to be an independent musician. I’ve been writing songs since I was 11, but it’s been a little difficult getting my music in front of people, we’ve playing tons of open mics, and now We’re producing an EP that we will put out via Distrokid. I enjoy your music, very bluesy, and very skillled!
Was waiting for this episode to say how much worth it was to travel from Portugal just to see Mary. What a show, what an inspiration. It was really great to see you live and meet you, and get to chat with you for a bit. I was right there talking to you when the guitars fell. What an emotional damage. But it's a story to tell. So happy for everything you've been achieving so far! You deserve it! Hope to see you again x
👏👏👏Very nicely done Mary…you deserved it after all that work you’ve put onto! I’m very impressed…keep on going Lady and fly high! All the best, be safe. Cheers 🥂
I can't tell you how happy I am your tour is on track and you're having a good, but I'm sure tired time. I only wish I could have made it to one of the venues but I'm stuck in America. Best wishes to you and all who are touring with you.
ciao Mary ...London is my favorite city...Fender shop in Regent st. is wonderful and Denmark st. is a dream...congratulations for your soldout in London...byeee
Great gig , sounded amazing just watching it back. You know that your guitar will always have this story attached to it now, although disappointing how cool also! The heartbreaker has a broken neck!
Oh man, I would have cried like baby about that guitar. My brother was playing at a local Distillery and when we were packing up his gear he tripped on a cable and wiped out his mixing board, knocked over a Mic stand that just missed his 00-21 Martin. Luckily he was okay also.
Talent, skill, application, endeavour...easy on the eye, articulate, great (bit posh) accent all impress an island Scot, Mary. Any chance of a ticketed concert livestream?
Another wonderful vlog episode. It shows what touring actually looks like when you are doing it yourself. One day I hope to see you live. Something about your vocals and guitar style just grab me.
You took the neck breaking much better than I would. But it can be fixed and accidents happen so you solve the problem and move on. I am so enjoying this tour series. I hope one day you come to the US for a tour, and/or, a performance in NYC.
I randomly came across Mary after watching a cycling video! Incredible voice and fantastic guitarist. I play poorly and badly ride a bike so we're almost related.
This is the show I went to and it was excellent. A really professional show. When I was there the three questions I wanted to ask were…How did you choose the venues? How did you know that anyone would turn up? Did you have any idea what your audience would look like? I thought that I would be the oldest person there at 63, but there was a good mix of younger and older people. Well done to Mary, the band and everyone else who made it happen.
Your tour travels reminded me of Elton's John's track "Holiday Inn" from MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER. You will just need to write a song about "Travelodge"! Continued wonderful experiences and success with your shows.
Sad your Heartbroken as Broken head stock not fair. I hope the repair will be as good as new or better. I can't wait for more shows I have watched them all as not been well. I must try and see you tour live next time.
This is great! Congrats on sold out shows, too!!! I LOVE the way you utilize and manipulate the guitar, for the song this video shows of your opening set!!! Okay...that...having the crowd singing the ending chorus on their own, until you QUEUED them to stop! YES! I can only imagine how ecstatic that makes you hahaha But oh, poor Lovemaker 💔 Question: What was that vocalization you were doing before the opening set, when you had the diet coke in your hand? (At the 7:23 mark) I feel like it was some kind of warm up exercise you were doing, but I'm completely unfamiliar with anything like it.

Your live vocal performance of “I Blame Myself” is stellar!
Instant goosebumps!
I actually teared up! (How embarrassing 😳) 😊
@@bengrillet The greatest gift you can have as a musician is to evoke emotions.
Emotions of the audience are the best reward you can have!
Such unfettered emotion when you sing that song. You made me cry, woman! Good job!💖
@11:14
Agreed. This is a great song.
Mary you are spoiling us with these vlogs. Loving them.
Sold out show!! Well earned 👏
I'm so happy for you, Mary and band! Well deserved! Keep going!
You were so laid back and cool about your guitar! I’d be broken and in tears for days 😢🤣🙏🏴🇬🇧♥️
It can't be a heartbreak tour without some heartbreak 💔😢
After 4 years of following you... all I can say... I am so Bloody happy for you... hope one day we have you in Prague... Rock on you Wonderful Lady!

Thoroughly enjoying these.. takes me back 30+ years ago when I was gigging and nothing much has changed including broken guitars.
Sold out venue! In London!! Wow!!!
I Blame Myself is a real standout, I could FEEL the emotion coming through
Broken guitars, blown amps, cracked cymbals plus drum skins
par for the course and a must hap, it shows you're putting in the work!

I Blame Myself was delivered in such an passionate and transcending way… So well done.
Beautiful! I love your messy hair! You're an amazing talent!
Doing laundry after soundcheck with 28mins to showtime?!?! There is no Spinal Tap story out there that has anything on Mary!!!
Congrats on the sold out show!
Seeing the broken headstock made me wince. I had a headstock break years ago, thanks to some bees. Was able to get it fixed.
Well, stuff happens! Sorry about that guitar, but sooooooooo happy for you! I know the anguish you went through putting this incredible tour together and nothing beats sold out shows! Felicidades 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Awesome Mary Spender, thanks for sharing
Totally fixable in the right hands!
Wow, looking forward to the next episode and the story of the broken guitar, glad you were insured, thanks Mary.....
Cool vlog! My two favourite moments: Doing the laundry while soundchecking and your guitar work on Melancholy Parade.
I really enjoyed watching your video Mary. I honestly think your hard work and dedication and not giving up is paying off.
Hi Mary, great Video! I enjoyed this concert so much, it was so cool to see you perform live and meet you afterwards. Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of this tour, can't wait to see how the rest went :)

I'd love to see a full-length live performance of "I Blame Myself"! That clip was incredible!
Road hair, I have felt that pain as a long-haird punk in the 80s and 90s. Rock on, Mary.
I blame myself, absolute perfection. ❤😢

Seems like a trip back to the Custom shop was in order! 😛
Sorry to hear about the guitar, but it looks like it was a fabulous show
What a memorable night, and so nice I get to be reminded of it again.
Thanks, Mary, was not sure what to expect as I am only a new convert who came by chance and stayed. Appreciate these vlogs and so glad you were enjoying it too mishaps and all.
Thank you so much.
@@MarySpender
My pleasure. Keep sharing and I will keep following :)
Its a lovely venue. Seen a couple of good artists there and had some memorable nights at Bush Hall.
Doing laundry at sound check is SAVAGE!
Best use of a limited resource! (time)
You are doing great Mary. Keep going. We love you.
Dreams come true. This is phenomenal....so happy for you.

Ps always thought you were super pretty ☺️
Not gonna lie, hearing the crowd singing along and Mary's raw vocal performances on 'I Blame Myself' both brought a tear to my eyes.
That 'I Blame Myself' was powerful. Loving these tour vlogs.
The emotion you play with is out of this world. truly beautiful music Mary!

Watching you from afar. Annapolis MD. In fact. I Would just like to say that I think you are very talented and very cool. Peace
OOOpsy, that's a bad break.

So interesting! Like being along in the van. Regards from Baltimore.
